Cecilia Lanny Winata, biographical note
Group leader at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, Warsaw.
Research interest: developmental biology using zebrafish as a model organism, the study of developmental mechanisms using genomics.
She obtained her PhD in 2009 from the National University of Singapore in the field of zebrafish developmental biology. She worked as a post doctoral fellow at the Genome Institute of Singapore where she picked up genomics techniques and applied them to study the regulation of maternal to zygotic transition and functional characterization of a transcription factor in zebrafish. Currently, her lab is studying transcriptional regulation and epigenetics during heart development, as well as the regulation of early embryonic development in zebrafish.
